Darren,

I'd say that this is quite a pleasant surprise and offering. I know of several modellers in the scale who prefer wheeled vehicles and this one should have them drooling.

From the news post comments:


Quoted Text

...surprises me if for no other reason that the inclusion of vinyl rubber tyres which I cannot remember ever seeing included in this scale before,...


They aren't as rare as you might imagine! Fugimi provided vinyl tires with a number of their kits, several more recent Trumpeter wheeled vehicles have them and even Dragon has recently provided a version of these but made of their own DS-100 plastic with their recent Kubelwagen release. I must say though that the tread pattern on these does look appropriate.

Cheers,
Jan
